In the midst of this pandemic, everyone is looking for some good vibes and Sunday people were able to rock out virtually.
Memphis bands held a virtual concert downtown. The virtual concert series is called #dontletmedownmem and will take place every Sunday at 2:00 p.m.
A local band or artist will perform live from the Chisca's rooftop while raising money for non-profit Slingshot Memphis.
The series will support musicians who are not able to bring their talent to Memphis stages due to the Coronavirus.
All donations will directly impact under-resourced neighbors disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
